Internet As the vast web of global and local information networks grow, several skills and forms of literacy are becoming essential for anyone who wants to obtain the full benefits of the Communications Age.

An individual’s ability to capitalize on the opportunities offered by interactive communications requires mastery of these information and communication proveniences:

• Navigational skills - The ability to move smoothly among arrays of autonomous and globally interconnected information, contacts, forums, and discussion groups in order to locate and connect to information and expertise from relevant sources.

• Information literacy - An understanding of which information is most useful, relevant, and reliable, as well as the ability to analyze, distill, integrate, compose, and classify information to create knowledge.

• Distribution skills - Frameworks for rethinking methods of packaging, presenting, providing access, and disseminating information and knowl-edge in this new medium.

• Communications literacy - Integrating new forms of information, knowledge, and message development into evolving patterns of organi-zational and interpersonal communication.

This certificate offers preparation skills for the above areas of emphasis involving the Internet.

Web Data Base DesignThe Web site developer must present the complexity and volume of information so that the site’s visitor may make decisions quickly and accurately. Data-driven dynamic pages are also interactive, allowing the visitor to choose the information that they would like to see. The increasingly sophisticated site development for online stores and multimedia, for example, requires a range of diverse and mul-tifaceted skills from database design, computer graphics, Web design, site design and architecture, graphical user interface design, to cross-platform competence. The World Wide Web, as a graphical user interface, offers new career opportuni-ties to graphic designers who have the skills to maintain sites that contain large amounts of data that changes frequently. The ability to package, share, and manage data to consumers across the Internet is in high demand. The Web Data Base Design certificate prepares for employment in dynamic business environments that need large-scale as well as smaller sites.
